Yu Yunwen (1110-1174), famous for the Battle of Quarrying, was a native of Renshou County, Longzhou (present-day Renshou County, Sichuan). History says he was "six years old and could recite the Nine Classics at the age of seven." Before and after his examination, he served as a local official, and served as a zhizhou (all in present-day Sichuan) in Pengzhou Tongju, Lizhou, Quzhou and other places, and had remarkable political achievements. It was not until after Qin Ju's death that Yu Yunwen was transferred to the central government to serve, from secretary to Libu Langguan. In the first month of the thirtieth year (1160) of the thirtieth year (1160) of Emperor Gaozong of Song, he wrote to him that the peace talks were unreliable, and the Jin people would defeat the alliance, so please step up preparations for war. It was not noticed at the time. Because Yunwen was enthusiastic about state affairs and had a good word, in October of the same year, he was able to send an envoy to the Jin Dynasty. He took this opportunity to explore the situation of the Jin people in shipbuilding, grain transportation, and various preparations for the southern invasion, and after returning to China, she explained these situations to the imperial court one by one, and he himself made some preparations more firmly.
In the autumn of the following year, the Jin lord Yan Liang personally led an army of 600,000 people to invade the south in four ways, and the main force soon crossed the Huai River and wanted to cross the river from the quarry, and the situation at that time was in danger. At this time, Yu Yunwen, as a military staff officer of Zhongshu Sheren, was sent to the Quarry Division, and he found that the defenders of the Song Dynasty only had 18,000 people who had retreated from the front line, and there was no one to command them, and the army was scattered. When Yu Yunwen saw the situation, he immediately volunteered to comfort and inspire the soldiers, and personally organized the command, taking the lead as a soldier, and everyone was moved to use their lives. Yu Yunwen used clever strategies and tactics and weapons suitable for water warfare, such as Mengchong large ships, small ships in the sea, and thunderbolt cannons containing gunpowder, sulfur, and lime (this cannon was invented by Yu Yunwen on the basis of the original rocket and fire tribulus according to recent research). Successively on the surface of the quarry river, upstream Yanglin Ferry, downstream Jingkou, several heroic battles were fought, only to achieve a brilliant victory with 18,000 people to defeat the enemy of hundreds of thousands of gold people, so that the Southern Song Dynasty could turn the crisis into safety. This is one of the few battles in history in which less wins more – the Battle of Quarry. People generally talk about Yu Yunwen's meritorious service, and there are many detailed discussions on this, so there is no need to say more here.
At the moment of victory in the quarry war, the other sides of the war were also going well; at the same time, civil unrest occurred within the Jin Dynasty. Zhang Jun, Yu Yunwen, and others of the Anti-Japanese Resistance Faction asked them to take advantage of the victory and pass through the Central Plains. Although Zhao Shuo, who was helpless and always stubborn and stealing an, praised "Yunwen Gongzhong's nature, Pei Duye of Yuanzhi", he made the decision to return to Lin'an quickly, and did not dare to speak at all. In the following year, he passed the throne to his adopted son Emperor Xiaozong Zhao Xuan to support the scene, and he himself hid behind the scenes to manipulate the overall situation of Gou An. Although Yu Yunwen had great military achievements, he was only ordered to send Ren Chuanshan as an emissary. Immediately after Yu Yunwen took office, he conspired with the famous anti-Jin general Wu Xuan to retake many lost lands in Shaanxi, but Shi Hao, the ruling faction in the imperial court, vigorously advocated the cession of land and sought peace, saying instead of the edict: "There are not many chicken ribs to abandon, and the wolf's heart is not enough", and ordered Wu Xuan to abandon the three roads and thirteen states. Yu Yunwen struggled, and the fifteen chapters before and after were not adopted, but they were degraded to the State of Chu, and the Three Roads and Thirteen Prefectures returned to the hands of the Jin people.
Soon the imperial court summoned Yu Yunwen to the court, and Yunwen li said that there were eight battles to fight, and pointed out the situation in wat, and was enthusiastic, and the government and the opposition were moved, so he was appointed as the bingbu Shangshu. Later, he served as an envoy to the two lakes and the western region of Jingxi, actively strengthening guarding and consolidating border defenses, while Tang Si, the minister of power in the DPRK and the Central Authority, was eager to seek peace, and ordered Yu Yunwen to abandon the dangerous Tang and Deng Erzhou, but Yu Yunwen resolutely opposed it and was recalled. At the insistence of Emperor Taishang's envoy and power traitor Tang Sihui, he soon reached a "Longxing Peace Agreement" with the Jin people, and cut Tang, Deng, Hai, Si prefectures, and Shaanxi Shang and Qin Prefectures together with the Jin state.
Although Yu Yunwen was unable to prevent the conclusion of the peace talks, because his patriotic words and deeds and quarrying feats were highly regarded by the public, in the second year after the peace talks were reached, that is, in the first year of the Qiandao (1165), he was appointed to the position of Governor of the People's Republic of China, signed a letter to the Privy Council, and presided over the military and administrative affairs. The deposing of Tang Sihui and his henchmen Wang Zhiwang, Yin Yong, Zhou Kui, and other principals and elements greatly increased the morale of the anti-war faction and dealt a blow to the arrogance of the main faction. For a while, the political theory of the DPRK and China, the social atmosphere, and literary works were all renewed, and there was a vigorous atmosphere, which was very different from the dark situation in which Qin Ju single-handedly covered the sky after the "Shaoxing Peace Talks" in those years, which was very much related to Yu Yunwen's honor, prestige, words and deeds.
In the third year of Qiandao (1167), the famous anti-Jin general Wu Xuan fell ill, and Yu Yunwen served as the envoy of Sichuan Xuanfu, and after he arrived at his post, he abolished the request for advice, deposed adultery and corruption, selected real talents, repaired the fortifications, straightened out the equipment, cut off the old and weak, trained the old and weak, sorted out the finances, abolished bad rules, audited pseudonyms, and dismissed thousands of floating eaters. He dared to act boldly, impeached the general Ren Tianxi for corruption and dereliction of duty, and the shogun Wang Huaigong private officials and relatives, and ordered Liu Hong and eleven others to invade the officials and sick people. All things should be done according to law, and there should be no favoritism. Although some people slandered at the beginning, over time people were impressed. He was also extremely concerned about the lives of the broad masses of the people, and once there was a great famine in Shuzhong, he went to the government of the wilderness for sixty-five things, gave relief in many ways, and did not count the living, and was deeply loved by the masses. The soldiers and civilians who returned from the enemy side were generously comforted, and he reluctantly supplied the enemy's situation and served the country, which achieved quite practical results.
In August of the fifth year of Qiandao (1169), Yu Yunwen was promoted to chancellor. He was the queen of the picture, employing people for administration, and was impartial, especially recommending the meritocracy as an urgent task, and when he found something, he recorded it, called "Material Library Record", which was his pioneering work in employing people. In his lifetime, he recommended many people, such as Hu Quan, Wang Shipeng, Zhao Ruyu, Chao Gongwu, Zhou Bida, Li Tao, Xin Zhiyi, etc., and many of them were talents with both talent and moral integrity and patriotic spirit. He also greatly respected the authority of the yan officials, such as Yushi Xiaozhimin impeaching him, the imperial court reciting his merits in quarrying, deposing Zhimin, but he strongly called Zhimin upright, requested to be summoned, and was exempted from the road of speech, and Emperor Xiaozong Zhao Xuan thought that his words were lenient and ordered to be written into the "Chronicle of Current Politics". Another example is Feng Fang, who was originally recommended by him, but later excluded him due to events, not only did he not retaliate, but also tried to rescue the other party when he was in difficulty. This kind of political demeanor is also invaluable. Yu Yunwen was often alert in handling government affairs, and once the son-in-law of the golden lord, Wu Lin, replied to Tianxi to come to congratulate him, and he knelt down to threaten him, and for a while the monarchs did not know how to be good, Yu Yunwen persuaded the emperor to enter, and immediately ordered the emissary to be declared disrespectful and returned to the museum. When the news spread to the border, Tianxi returned to Jin and was reprimanded.
In February of the eighth year of Qiandao (1172), Yu Yunwen was appointed as the Left Chancellor and Privy Counsellor. In August, with ShaoBao and Jiedushi envoys, they once again declared Sichuan, and the imperial court gave them money and thousands of taels, and after returning to Shu, all of them were used to buy horses and return to the public. Some of his subordinates gave him an appendage, which contained gold vessels, and gave him wine, which was mixed with pearls, and when he found out, he said that the impeachment was close to fame, but he had to resolutely refuse and teach him. In order to consolidate the defense of the northwest, he responded to the southeast, regardless of his old age and physical decline, often wearing stars and wearing the moon, inspecting the barracks, supervising the soldiers, although the festival was cold in winter, the ice was full of beards, and he did not rest for a while. In the past few years, the ambition of the Northern Expedition has not been realized, and he has become ill with overwork and died in sichuan in the first year of Chunxi (1174). His spirit of diligence in state affairs and loyalty to his duties is truly admirable.
Throughout Yu Yunwen's life, he was honest and diligent, lived a simple life, and was strict in everything. GongYu is diligent and studious, and the literature is not carved, and the natural work is stable. He was also quite skilled in martial arts, and when he made Jin, the Jin people deceived him as a civilian official, and to test the archery with him, he drew a bow and hit it, and the enemy obeyed him, so he had to treat him with courtesy. He also paid great attention to reading history, often annotating the Book of Tang and the history of the Five Dynasties and hiding it at home. He also wrote poems, ten volumes of texts, three volumes of lectures on the Spring and Autumn Period of the Feast, twenty-two volumes of concerts, and fifteen volumes of internal and external systems. Although many of these writings have not been passed down today, his life's deeds and military achievements and achievements are still worthy of our reference.
